"Yes, this child has been staying in the mansion since the last accident and has never gone out," said Old Madam Gu with a look of heartache on her face.

"Xiao Bei has reached school age. Now that I have the conditions, I want to send him to school. Hui Xuan is still studying, so I want to ask him about the school situation."

"In that case, I'll let Madam Li take you to his courtyard to find him," Old Madam Gu had not been feeling well recently, so she did not go with them.

Jiang Nan, with his two children, followed Nanny Li through many twists and turns until they arrived at a small courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, but it can be considered a quiet place in the huge Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

It can be seen how little care Xu has for her son.

Nanny Li entered the yard and asked the maid who served Gu Huixuan to go into the house to report, after all, there were differences between men and women.

The maid entered the room, and soon Gu Huixuan came out to greet her.

"Sister-in-law, you're here," Gu Huixuan said to Jiang Nan with a smile, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"How is the wound on your head?" Jiang Nan asked with concern.

"It's okay now," Gu Huixuan said as he raised his hand and touched the injured area. His eyes were cold, without his usual cheerfulness.

Looking at Gu Huixuan's current appearance, Jiang Nan couldn't help but sigh. After all, experiencing life and death was too much of a blow to him.

"Hui Xuan, I want Xiao Bei to study in the academy, but I don't know the situation, so I wanted to ask you."

Jiang Nan stated the purpose of this trip.

Hearing this, Gu Huixuan turned to look at Jiang Bei and said, "I'm in a school now. You can go as long as you sign up. The teachers there are pretty good. School is about to start, so sister-in-law should hurry up and sign up Xiaobei."

"Sister-in-law, do you want Xiaobei to go to the school where I am?" Gu Huixuan paused and asked.

"I have this plan," Jiang Nan came to see Gu Huixuan today, thinking that having Gu Huixuan in the school would be a good thing.

"In that case, I have nothing to do today, so I'll take my sister-in-law to sign up!" Gu Huixuan said to Jiang Nan.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to accompany me on this trip," Jiang Nan thought of what Old Madam Gu said before that Gu Huixuan had been staying in the mansion, so he immediately agreed and asked him to go out more often.

Immediately, Nanny Li sent someone to prepare the carriage, while Jiang Shuang kept pestering Gu Huixuan to play.

In the past, Gu Huixuan was a playful person and loved to tease Jiang Shuang and Jiang Bei, so when Jiang Shuang saw Gu Huixuan, he would also like to pester him.

Gu Huixuan played with the two children, and his expression looked much more relaxed.

Soon the carriage was ready and Jiang Nan got on with the two children.

The school where Gu Huixuan was studying was not the Imperial Academy, but an ordinary school in Shangjing. Its advantage was that it was large in area and had a good reputation for teaching, which was why Jiang Nan considered letting Jiang Bei come here.

It's still the holiday season, but there are people guarding the school.

Since Gu Huixuan was a student of Yuelu Academy, the gatekeeper naturally recognized him.

"Mr. Gu, it's not time for school to start yet," the gatekeeper reminded Gu Huixuan when he saw him.

"Thank you for the reminder. I am here to bring someone to register today. I wonder if there is a teacher in the courtyard."

The college teacher is also responsible for registering and accepting students.

"Yes, please go directly to Master Xu." The gatekeeper said, opening the gate and letting several people into the academy.

Jiang Bei was curious and kept looking around with longing in his eyes.

Gu Huixuan led his men to Master Xu with ease.

"Master Xu," Gu Huixuan reached out and knocked on Master Xu's door.

"Come in," a middle-aged male voice came from inside the door.

Gu Huixuan walked in front and led the people in.

"Master Xu, my brother wants to enroll in our college."

Upon hearing this, Master Xu glanced at Jiang Bei and asked, "Which college were you in before?"

"I have never been to college. I just started my education at home a few years ago." Jiang Bei replied without any stage fright.

"He has just started learning, and he is a little too old. It is a little late now." Doctor Xu looked at Jiang Bei and thought that he must be at least ten years old.

"Master Xu, for some reasons, he was late in learning, but my brother learns very quickly and has a good memory. In just two months, he has already finished learning the Three Character Classic and can recognize all the characters."

"Oh, come here and let me test you." Master Xu became interested when he heard Jiang Nan's words.

He wrote some words on the paper, called Jiang Bei over and asked him to read it.

Jiang Bei only glanced at the teacher's words and said, "This is the Three Character Classic, page 10, paragraph 3."

"Since he has some talent, it doesn't matter if he starts later. The tuition is one hundred taels of silver a year. If you are sure that he will study at Yuelu Academy, you can pay the tuition when you have time, or you can ask him to come when school starts. Let him come on the 20th of the first lunar month!"

Master Xu said to Jiang Nan

"Okay, thank you Master Xu, I won't bother you today, goodbye." After understanding the situation, Jiang Nan took a few people back to Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

In the carriage, Jiang Nan looked at Gu Huixuan, who was not as noisy as usual and was silent. He frowned slightly and felt a little distressed.

"Hui Xuan, you not only have Xu as your mother, but also your grandmother and many people who love you. They hope that you can live a happy life and not feel sad for those who try to hurt you."

Jiang Nan looked at Gu Huixuan and said seriously.

Gu Huixuan, who had been silent at first, suddenly looked up at Jiang Nan. He thought he had hidden himself well enough, but he was still seen through by his sister-in-law. "I know, but after experiencing life and death, I suddenly had some insights and couldn't adjust to it for a while. Sister-in-law, don't worry about me."

"Just knowing that you didn't get stuck in a rut, you still have a lot of good times ahead of you."

Jiang Nan knew from his words that he just couldn't adjust to the situation at the moment, so he felt relieved.

"Sister-in-law hopes that you can turn back into the little sun-like Gu Huixuan soon."

Jiang Nan said as he reached out and patted Gu Huixuan on the shoulder.

They have been together for more than ten years, and even though Xu usually doesn't care about Gu Huixuan, she is his mother after all. No one can bear it if his biological mother suddenly attacks him.

What's more, he is just a fourteen-year-old boy.

Soon the carriage arrived at the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. It was almost noon, so Jiang Nan did not go to see Old Madam Gu.

Seeing this, Gu Huixuan was very considerate and asked someone to send Jiang Nan back directly.

Jiang Nan did not refuse.

On the way home, the carriage suddenly slowed down, and finally stopped moving, with constant discussions outside the carriage.

"What happened outside?" Jiang Nan asked the groom.

"Girl, it seems like everyone is reading some official notice. The road is blocked by so many people."

Jiang Nan lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked outside. Sure enough, a lot of people gathered there, surrounding the carriage so tightly that no one could get through.

Jiang Nan also vaguely heard something about Xu's family in Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, but the streets were crowded and he couldn't hear clearly.

"Xiaobei, Shuang'er, you two wait here for your sister, I will be back soon," Jiang Nan got off the carriage and told the coachman to keep an eye on the two children.

She lifted her skirt and squeezed towards the crowd.
